DOCUMENT OVERVIEW This document is a cashier User Guide covering the standard use of the RICS Point of Sale (POS) specifically entering

sales, time clock functionality, and price checks. Store Managers are responsible for communicating specific store

policies and procedures with their staff.

BASIC NAVIGATION The POS has up to eight navigational tabs but the number of tabs visible will vary based on user permissions.

As a cashier, you will spend most of your time selling product in the Point of Sale tab. The Time Clock and Price

Check functions are also available.


ENTER SALES Transactions are entered on “Enter Sales” under the Point of Sale tab.

Users navigate between three sub tabs under “Enter Sales” to complete a transaction:

• Ticket Header: Collect customer information

• Ticket Detail: Add product to the ticket

• Ticket Payment: Collect payment and finish sale

customers with ‘son’ appearing anywhere in the last name.

of the screen.

In this example, the customer is only $22.05 away from earning a $20 Frequent Buyer reward.

tab:

Inform the customer that a reward has been earned. Confirm that he/she wants to use it on the current ticket. Click
